good-byes

[spally]

when we were kids, good-bye was tomorrow
when we were 10, good-bye was after homework
when we were 18, good-bye was after graduation
when we're 26, good-bye should be after a ski trip
when we're 34, good-bye should be when we move away
when we're 44, good-bye sehould be when our wedding days
when we're 52, good-bye should be after a BBQ
when we're 60, good-bye should mean i'll call another day
when we're 68, we sould never say good-bye
but right now we're stuck at 17 and things will never be the same
our good-byes have been cut short
you said good-bye and meant forever
so now we'll settle with nevermore
